1.
A long, thin, flexible material or substrate typically supplied in roll form. This material is processed and handled through machinery.
2.
Path The route or direction a continuous web material follows as it moves through a processing line, such as in web handling.
3.
Break The unintended breaking of a continuous web material during processing, which can cause delays and waste.
4.
The process of switching a production line or machine from running one product to a different product.
5.
Mechanical devices used to hold workpieces or tools securely in place, often found on machines like lathes or drill presses.
6.
Rolls Large quantities or rolls of continuous, flexible material like paper, foil, or film, used in manufacturing processes.
7.
The release material that protects the adhesive layer and keeps it from sticking to itself.
8.
The method of joining two pieces of material to form a continuous web.
9.
Identification labels or tags used on large rolls of material, particularly for tracking and inventory management.
11.
Coatings A liquid solution or dispersion of silicone applied to a surface to change the surface characteristics.
12.
Task Assessment A type of assessment where individuals are required to perform a task to demonstrate their knowledge, skills, and understanding.
13.
Matrix Tool or document used to track the training and skills of employees.
14.
Training A method where individuals learn job duties and gain experience directly within the workplace using existing tools, equipment, and knowledge.
15.
A safety mechanism, such as a button or pull cord, that an operator can engage at any point during a run to immediately stop the machine and coating process.
16.
The force applied to a web to keep it taut and prevent wrinkles or slack during processing.
17.
Roll A non-driven roller that supports and guides the web without applying tension.
18.
The process of unwinding a roll of material, typically at the start of a production line.
19.
Joining two ends of a web together to create a continuous roll, often done without stopping the machine.
20.
Applying a liquid or semi-liquid material to a substrate's surface.
21.
A process where a coating undergoes a chemical change, often initiated by heat or UV light, to harden and become durable.
22.
Material that is discarded during production.
23.
Similar to waste, but often refers to material that can be recycled or reused.
24.
Periods when equipment is not operating due to maintenance, repairs, or other interruptions.
25.
Periods when equipment is operating and productive.
26.
A flaw or imperfection in a product.
27.
Cutting a wide web into narrower rolls.
28.
Bonding two or more layers of material together.
